Police and Crime Commissioner wants public to decide what punishments to give antisocial behaviour culprits

Victims of anti-social behaviour will decide how their tormentors are punished.

Police chiefs are putting together a list of possible punishments for the victims of lower-level crime to choose from.

Louts had better watch out – the public is being asked what should be on the list.

Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne wants the public to whittle down options including apologising, receiving counselling and litter picking.

People can make their own suggestion for the Community Remedy Document to be published in November.

Victims will be able to choose whether they want to decide the punishment and the police will make sure the punishments are enforced. Mrs Bourne said: “A recent poll on my website showed that anti-social behaviour is a big concern, with littering, drug and alcohol misuse, and inconsiderate driving and parking topping the list of issues local people experience most often.

“‘Community remedy’ is designed to introduce simpler and more effective powers for tackling these lower level crimes.

“It is also designed to provide victims, should they want it, with a say in how an offender will make amends for the matter if the crime warrants an out of court settlement.”

The practice will build on the idea of punishing lower-level offenders outside of the courts, with police often talking to victims about how offenders should be dealt with.

Conservative Councillor Dee Simpson thought it good to give victims a say if they wanted it.

She said: “Some victims possibly would like to be involved and some would not but it is good to be given the chance.

Stephen Reeves, 50, of Hove, taxi driver, said: “I suppose it depends what they've done. If it's for anti-social stuff it might work but we could only do it a couple of times before they need to be banged up. I think they should take a couple of days to clean up what they've done.”

John Jensen, 72, of Hove, retired, said: “I think it's a good idea. Realistically, I'd like to see people get a large fine and then be made to clean it all up. Only one in 1,000 people are caught and then they are let off with a warning.”

Nicola Driddle, 44, of Fiveways, shopkeeper, said: “I think it could be a good thing, then you've got some control over it. I would make them come and clean up or repair whatever damage they caused and I think they should have to answer to the community.”

Why are the "Travellers" who have broken into Carden Park not charged with anti social behaviour?
They have destroyed barriers put there to stop them from trespassing on the park and are occupying land that does not belong to them.

But maybe that's just part of the journey he's doing. How do you know the full journey isn't something like Rottingdean to Shoreham?

Because he might be on his way from somewhere like Saltdean to Worthing. Ever thought of that?

Because he might be disabled. Ever thought of that?

Ok... a 45 minute cycle, you lazy people. Better than the hour and a half that it would take.

I have often wondered why Travellers are above the laws that apply to everyone else but who in authority, is prepared to provide answers? The issues always seem to be carefully avoided. Even here on the Argus website, we are not allowed to comment on Travellers.

I think putting them in stocks would be a good idea and people could pay to throw mouldy fruit and veg at them - the money could be used to house the homeless.

Or make them clean up West St - when people have finished puking up.
